All things floral

s/s 2012 florals

A few years ago I wouldn't dare to wear floral prints. They screamed tapestry to me and I didn't want to look like a sofa. When I first saw Celine's s/S 2012floral outfit (the first on the left in the picture above) I thought it was definitely over the top but little by little, watching it again an editorial after another that abundance of flower print ipnotized me. Today's trend is more for mixing prints more than matching them but I like how the top matches pants. So bottom line, I embraced floral prints and I made the top above that is maybe the first piece of a set. To DIY a peplum top follow the peplum skirt diy tutorial. Kristen of Glitter and Glue also found a clever way to create a peplum top by cutting out a flared dress. You can find floral print fabrics here or here, light weighted upholstery fabric can also be a cheaper option. Are you into floral prints yet? If not see if the pictures below inspires you.

Hello! I just found your blog and I think it's AMAZING! The pics are great and I can see that You really like what you do here! I love people with great ideas, like you! Your blog is inspiring! I will follow you!xoxo

ha-ha-ha, we are so much alike!!! I have these beautiful floral curtains in our kitchen and have left-over fabric. If I could sew I would definitely made me a blazer out of that fabric. I'll have to email you a photo of my curtains ;) If I did make me a top out of my curtain fabric I'd title my post "modern Scarlet O'Hara" or something like that, lolLOVE your top!!! I am so envious of your sewing skills. xxmaya
